ALBERTA TIMBERLANDS 

 Lumbering in the foothills west of Calgary 



The following statement from the 

 Government Crop Bulletin for 1905

 average yield of grain in the Calgary 

 district :

 Wheat (winter) 32.18

Southern Alberta is favored in the 

 matter of markets for its produce, sit- 

 uated as it is alongside the great min- 

 ing and lumbering districts of her sis- 

 ter province of British Columbia, and 



having the shortest and most direct 

 outlet to the great markets of Yukon, 

 Alaska and the Orient by the port of 

 Vancouver. A steady and never fail- 

 ing market already exists for its gen- 

 eral produce ; and prime beef for many 

 years has gone eastward across the 

 continent to Great Uritain. 



Xature has done much for the roll- 

 ing mesas of the Canadian foothills. 

 It needs but man's enterprise and 

 initiative to convert into a region of 

 happy homes these er.-twhi'e 

 Indian raids and old wallov, 'he
